Magic Video - Captive by Jimmy Strange
Description & Effect
Unleash Your Inner Mentalist
Imagine having the uncanny ability to manipulate objects with your mind, or even influencing a spectator's thoughts to create an unbelievable phenomenon. With 'Captive' by Jimmy Strange, this extraordinary power is now within your grasp. This isn't just another magic trick; it's a testament to the art of subtle deception and psychological illusion, designed to leave anyone who witnesses it utterly speechless.
'Captive' allows you to perform what many would consider genuinely impossible. You simply remove the cap from an ordinary Sharpie marker and place it on a table, or even under a glass for ultimate isolation. Then, with a focused thought, whether from your own mind or a spectator's, the cap begins to stir. It slides, it twitches, and then, with an astonishing finality, it tumbles over, causing gasps and disbelief among your audience. This effect is powerful, visual, and profoundly unsettling in the best possible way.
The Power of Simplicity and Deception
What sets 'Captive' apart is its ingenious simplicity and incredibly deceptive method. There are no invisible threads, no magnets, no tricky refills, and no elaborate setups to worry about. You use your own everyday Sharpie, making the illusion feel impromptu and organic. This means less worry about complicated mechanics and more focus on your performance and audience connection. It's suitable for beginners due to its straightforward nature, yet sophisticated enough to fool even the most jaded professionals. The rapid reset allows for multiple performances without any fuss, making it ideal for walk-around or street magic scenarios.
Comprehensive Learning and Bonus Content
When you download 'Captive,' you receive a comprehensive video tutorial from Jimmy Strange himself, meticulously guiding you through every nuance of the performance. You'll learn all the intricacies, timings, and subtleties required to make this effect truly magical. But the value doesn't stop there. 'Captive' also includes a bonus effect and two additional, killer card routines, giving you even more powerful material to add to your repertoire. As acclaimed magician Alan Rorrison puts it, 'I think Captive is fantastic. It does exactly what it says on the tin and it does it well.' Elevate your magic and leave a lasting impression with 'Captive' today.
